Putin is said to have become quite rich via a sex and drug trade.
But he has an entire army and mercenary group to fight the cartels if need be.
Once you are deep into those people, life gets complicated.

Of course Epstein provided booze and drugs, but the main attraction
were the victims.

Ha, you and I both know Epstein was not killed by a drug cartel.
They usually leave a calling card to warn others.
Also it was a sloppy job.
Cartel could do much better.
